My interest in the ISBA Food Law Section stems from many years being a vegan, getting involved in issues related to animal cruelty, food waste, plant based foods (faux meats and milk), backyard raising of crops for sale, water health, soil health, pesticides and herbicides, fertilizers, and impact of runoff from hog farming onto organic farms. This just names a few issues that I have much interest in and energy to be involved in.  Inspiration for this Food Law section was created on the ISBA Environmental Law Section.  So many of the topics touch profoundly on environmental concerns also.
